Ooooooops! I seemed to have opened the veritable Pandora's box about the voting procedures! Well now, on second thoughts, I agree that we needn't police our own community would bring its own set of problems! Also somehow I realize that all this suggestions seem to be making this an "exclusive" contest. Which wasn't the idea at all! The basic premise of the challenge is to challenge oneself to go further as against run a race!!! If that was the premise I guess everything about voting procedure is redundant! I quite like Shin's idea about following the PS forum. It also seems that, some of us are afraid to join 'cos this challenge might be too complicated!!! :-( Well that wasn't the idea at all! I was thinking of creating a peers group whereby we HELP each other out and try and maximise Bryce's potential! My apologies for posting the bit on voting procedures! I was more concerned about our community, and didn't want it to be hijacked by selfish intentions. But this idea about voting seems to have struck at the very spirit of peer interaction as against filter the interaction. To be honest the interaction with you guys by far outweighs coming first, second or whatever! Anyway, my race is always with myself!!! I'm glad though this topic allowed us to do some rethink on what we want our challenge to be! Yet being judged by a peers group and being scored by them lay the basic principles of excellence (case in point: The Oscars)! The challenge might now be small, but it might grow over a period of time! So how can we create a mechanism yet foster a feeling of camaraderie between ourselves?
